2: Awakened Martial Soul: Xuan Huang Yan

“No problem, Saintess.”

Chrysanthemum Douluo was clearly used to this, and within a few seconds, he was holding a little squirt.

“Auntie, this isn’t fair! You made Grandpa Ju come catch me again.”

Mo Yuhan was not very convinced, his little legs flailing in the air.

“Yu Han, if you’re so naughty again next time, I’ll punish you by not letting you sleep with me.”

Bibi Dong said, feigning a stern expression.

Mo Yuhan quieted down, and Chrysanthemum Douluo put him back on the ground.

“Yu Han, you are already six years old. Get ready, and Elder Ju will take you for your Spirit awakening later.”

Mo Yuhan asked in surprise, “Auntie, aren’t you coming with me?”

Bibi Dong shook her head, “These past few days are crucial for me to break through to Spirit Saint, so I don’t have time to personally take you for your Spirit awakening.”

“Auntie, you’re breaking through to Spirit Saint so quickly?!”

Mo Yuhan was utterly astonished.

Although he had long known that his aunt, who was both a mother and a sister to him, had extraordinary talent, Mo Yuhan was still very surprised to hear this news.

On a side note, there’s a story behind Bibi Dong being called ‘auntie’.

When Mo Yuhan grew a bit older and learned the language of Douluo Continent, in order to curry favor, he initially wanted to call Bibi Dong ‘mother’.

However, Bibi Dong was still in her blossoming youth, so she naturally disagreed.

But if he called her ‘sister’, and Mo Yuhan called Chrysanthemum Douluo and the others ‘grandpa’, Bibi Dong felt that it would unfairly lower her seniority.

So, Chrysanthemum Douluo suggested that Mo Yuhan call her ‘auntie’.

This way, she would have the title of an Elder without the awkwardness of having a child before marriage.

Bibi Dong playfully flicked Mo Yuhan’s nose and smiled, “Now you know how amazing I am, right? Focus on your Spirit awakening and try to awaken a good Spirit.”

After Bibi Dong left, Chrysanthemum Douluo smiled and said, “Little Yuhan, come with me for your Spirit awakening.”

“Alright, Grandpa Ju.”

Once Bibi Dong left, Mo Yuhan became much more well-behaved.

Because he knew that in Spirit Hall, only his aunt, Bibi Dong, would tolerate his little temper, and being appropriately mischievous could also deepen their bond.

However, towards others, he had to be polite and measured.

No one truly likes a mischievous child.

Naturally, Mo Yuhan did not have to awaken his Spirit with others.

Mo Yuhan guessed that this was also a form of protection from his aunt.

If the awakened Spirit was too poor or even non-existent, and if others, especially Qian Xunji, found out, they might persuade her to abandon Mo Yuhan.

“Xiao Han, stand in the awakening stone and quietly feel the changes within your body.”

Mo Yuhan did as he was told.

In these years, he had followed Bibi Dong to learn various cultural knowledge of Douluo Continent and had also been training his physique.

Not only did he feel a faint power gradually growing within his body, but most importantly, he prevented Bibi Dong from meeting Yu Xiaogang, who was researching at the Spirit Hall Research Institute.

This way, even if Qian Xunji might still try to violate Bibi Dong out of his own selfish desires in the future, this period would be greatly extended.

After all, the most direct trigger for Qian Xunji’s actions was Bibi Dong and Yu Xiaogang falling in love, and her declaration that she would even leave Spirit Hall for him.

And now, although Yu Xiaogang was still researching at the Spirit Hall Research Institute, he had not attracted the interest of others, especially Bibi Dong.

From time to time, Mo Yuhan would feign curiosity and propose his own ideas, rephrasing Yu Xiaogang’s theories as his own.

As the Saintess, Bibi Dong, due to having to care for the very clingy Mo Yuhan, and with the theories already proposed, could simply arrange for her subordinates to verify them, thus not needing to personally go to the research institute out of curiosity.

A pale golden light instantly enveloped Mo Yuhan.

A warm aura gradually permeated his body. He clearly felt that his body seemed to fluctuate slightly, and under the guidance of a warm energy, something seemed to shatter, and the aura concentrated like a blazing light, rushing into his palm in an instant.

As the light dissipated, a pale yellow flame appeared in Mo Yuhan’s right hand.

The flame was a rich Xuan Huang color, and deep within the flame, faint golden patterns flickered, appearing and disappearing, like the chaotic energy condensed at the beginning of heaven and earth.

Upon closer inspection, the form of this flame seemed not to be fixed; at times, it was as heavy as flowing magma, and at other times, as ethereal as clouds and mist, as if changing its energy state according to Mo Yuhan’s will, presenting different textures.

When Mo Yuhan tried to burn the flame itself, tiny golden runes would appear on its surface, each pattern subtly distorting space.

Upon seeing this flame, a guess immediately formed in Mo Yuhan’s mind, and he couldn’t help but recall the one-eyed wind wolf he saw the moment he opened his eyes.

“It seems that was indeed not my hallucination. This Xuan Huang Flame has never existed on Douluo Continent; it can only be from Dou Qi Continent.”

“Spirit: Unknown Flame. Although its grade is unknown, its appearance is so peculiar that it must be quite extraordinary.”

It was unclear if Chrysanthemum Douluo was trying to save Mo Yuhan’s face or if he truly saw the extraordinary nature of the Xuan Huang Flame.

“Next, let’s test your Soul Power.”

Mo Yuhan retracted the Xuan Huang Flame into his body, placed his palm on the blue crystal ball, and it immediately emitted a strong light.

“Innate Full Soul Power!”

Chrysanthemum Douluo exclaimed.

Mo Yuhan withdrew his hand, and Chrysanthemum Douluo immediately personally re-tested. After confirming the test was accurate, he smiled like a blooming chrysanthemum, “Congratulations, congratulations, Xiao Han, Innate Full Soul Power means you truly have a predestined connection with the Saintess.”

Regardless of the quality of that peculiar flame Spirit, this Innate Full Soul Power alone was enough to make Chrysanthemum Douluo look at him with new respect.

Barring any accidents, with Innate Full Soul Power and Bibi Dong’s meticulous guidance, Mo Yuhan would undoubtedly become a pillar of Spirit Hall in the future.

Mo Yuhan was not arrogant. “Thank you, Grandpa Ju, but please keep this a secret for me. When Auntie comes out of seclusion, I want to be the first to tell her!”

“Alright, alright, this old man will keep his mouth shut.”

A slight flicker appeared in Chrysanthemum Douluo’s somewhat cloudy eyes.

This kid, could he truly be so monstrously talented?

He even knew to use the Saintess’s name to get him to help conceal his strength, thereby hiding his true abilities…

Chrysanthemum Douluo smiled. So what if he was? He was already part of the Saintess’s faction. As the Saintess’s “adopted son,” Mo Yuhan naturally supported the Saintess’s position. This old man would be even happier if Mo Yuhan was more monstrously talented.

Mo Yuhan wanted to conceal his strength, not only because he genuinely planned to tell his aunt Bibi Dong the good news first, but also, and more importantly, out of apprehension towards Qian Xunji’s faction.

Qian Xunji might not take him seriously, but others might.

Before Bibi Dong became the Supreme Pontiff, he had to understand some ways of survival.

And this was also what Bibi Dong often taught him.
